i made some tests on my debian, and this proves a little puzzling... gzip went ok as expected, with user2 being given ownership of the new compressed file. also, the permissions given were the same as the old file.
and looking at the inodes of the original and the compressed file, before and after running gzip, showed they are two different files, meaning the old file was not just truncated, written on and given a new name. but in your case, it seems different... a new file was also created but the owner is retained (user1) and the umask used was 077... maybe this is an HP *nix flavor specific ?
